The New York Times calls Trinidadian trumpeter Etienne Charles an auteur who is "one of [jazz's] more ambitious soloists and composers," JazzTimes applauds him as a "daring improviser" and DownBeat celebrates his tone as "melodically captivating." An artist who has garnered a welcomed response to his Caribbean roots-informed jazz, Charles is joined by a host of today's top young jazz artists hailing from a variety of musical and cultural backgrounds to deliver this tribute to and journey throughout the music of the Caribbean.

This world premiere features "history in the making" (Boston Globe) vocalist Shenel Johns, Thelonious Monk Institute Jazz Saxophone Competition finalist Godwin Louis, renowned bassist Russell Hall (Wynton Marsalis, Jon Batiste and Stay Human), CJF fan favorite pianist Mathis Picard (Mwenso and the Shakes, Bria Skonberg) and drummer Savannah Harris.
